Spatially Resolved Physical Properties of Young Star Clusters and Star-forming Clumps in the Brightest z > 6 Galaxy, the Strongly Lensed Cosmic Spear at z = 6.2

Abstract We present a spatially resolved analysis of stellar populations in the brightest z > 6 galaxy known to date (AB mag 23), the strongly lensed MACS0308−zD1 (dubbed the “Cosmic Spear”) at z spec = 6.2. New JWST NIRCam imaging and high-resolution NIRSpec integral field unit...
